Hidden Power's power and type vary depending on the individual Pokemon using it, ranging between 30 and 70 power. There is no way to change a Pokemon's Hidden Power type or power, so you are stuck with what you have. Hidden Power is always a Special-based move.

The user throws its Held Item, removing it permanently while tossing it at the target. Power, type, and side-effect are determined by the item tossed, generally by the implied weight of the item (Iron Ball is the heaviest, and the Plates are also very heavy).

This pokemon is a beast in D/P/Pt! Instantly catching one in Trophy Garden, it will usually have Thunder Wave, Sweet Kiss, and Tail Whip. This is all you need because at the start of every battle, you can inflict parafusion and then follow with a series of Tail Whips! The opponent will keep hitting itself, and you don't even need to attack! The way parafusion works is that confusion is calculated before paralysis, meaning every turn, there is a 50% chance it will hit itself, a 25% chance it will be affected by paralysis, and only a 25% chance it will actually be able to attack! Tail Whip increases the damage the confused opponent inflicts on itself without posing any risk to Pichu, unlike the case of Swagger and Flatter! The best part is that an opponent with higher Attack hits itself harder! This thing is wired to take down strong but slow foes!

I love Pichu. I don't care if people say "its horrible" or whatnot. Pichu is one of my favorite Pokemon because of how adorable it is,and trust me. If it weren't for cute cute Pokemon like Pichu,I never would've gotten into Pokemon in the first place.

Also Pichu would be my Starter Pokemon. Then i would get these folowing Pokemon and evolve them: Charmander, Eevee, Snivy, Spheal, and Riolu.

I would never evolve Pichu. If it could i would have it learn Hyper Beam, Fly, Thunderbolt, and Volt Tackle. (Fly like the event Pikachu on Pokewalker and Hyper beam for everyone to be shocked and like "what the-!?"
